Researchers have succeeded in developing a microbial strain that efficiently produces pseudoaromatic polyester monomer to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using systems metabolic engineering.

Scientists have spotted microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters, in some of the most pristine environments on Earth, from the depths of the Mariana Trench to the snow on Mt.

Microplastics have already been found in the remotest parts of the world, including Antarctica - and a new study suggests they could be affecting the weather. Microplastics, which are formed when ...

"Microplastics can affect precipitation patterns, weather forecasting, climate modeling, and even aircraft safety".

Cloudy Skies Microplastics have once again been detected somewhere jarring as scientists reveal that these tiny plastic ...

"One of the few examples that we have where there's this much control over changing the properties." Researchers discover new ...
